Q: How do you kill ivy permanently?

• <div><p>You kill ivy permanently by cutting it at the root and applying herbicide. You can also tear out ivy at the roots to remove it and apply herbicide as an extra measure. Covering the area with at least two inches thick of mulch or leaves can prevent future growth. Watch the area for any regrowth and kill regrowth immediately.</p></div>

Q: Is it okay to leave tree roots in the ground?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there&rsquo;s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.</p></div>

Q: What are the risks of attempting to remove a large tree without professional help?

• <div><p>DIY is risky and not recommended for large trees; professional services ensure safe removal and proper disposal.</p></div>

we had an estimate that was $900 less than pure air but was not worth the price because pure air did a lot more by removing moldy wood etc and disposing of it the other company was just going to spray, Pure air even went back to house when my client had a question
